Les Miserables is the story of Jean ValJean, a man on the run, and through his journey we meet french revolutionaries, an orphan and a kindly bishop.
The cast give out a wide variety in terms of vocal quality.
Eddie Redmayne and Samantha Barks are Perfection nothing wrong at all loved it. Acting Brilliant, Singing Amazing, their solo numbers are impeccable
Amanda Seyfreid sang beautifully but had some weird snow white vibrato at times.
Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Aaron Tveit Can't think of anything wrong but nothing particularly great. To be honest i can't remember much of anything about their performances.
And Anne Hathaway was generally okay but during "I Dreamed a Dream" she takes these weird overdrawn breaths that take me out of it
But.....
Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe seem to have actively forgotten how to sing.
On a whole this is a very well made film with some decent to good acting performances throughout with mostly good vocal performances except a couple dodgy ones. I would recommend to anyone with an interest in musical theatre to check this film out.
